(B) 4 and 5

4 and 5 are consecutive numbers and when you add both of them (sum) you get 9.

Once you get 9, it says 1/3 of the sum of the two consecutive numbers.

So we would do 9 divided by 3 which then we would get 3.

It also says the number is one less than the smaller number (which is 4 in this case as 4 is smaller than 5).

3 is one number smaller than 4 and is therefore the answer.

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A is an arithmetic sequence in that is adds or subtracts the same amount.

B is also an arithmetic is that it takes the original 1000 and adds another 1000 for each year

C is a geometric sequence because it's losing 5× however many questions missed

D is the answer because it says it loses 10% every year, so it loses 10% of the previous year, not the beginning year.

nikklg [1K]

Answer:

......

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of diagonal of the rectangle=

√( length) ²+( breadth) ²

=√(20) ²+(12) ²

=√400+144

√544 m

. '. Length of fence= √544 m

Perimeter of the triangle formed by the diagonal of the rectangle =(12+20+√544)

=(32+√544) m

The roots of 2x^{2} + 3x = 4 are α and β. Find the simplest quadratic equation which has roots <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f
elena-s [515]
2x^2+3x=4\implies2x^2+3x-4=0\implies x=\dfrac{-3\pm\sqrt{41}}4

Let \alpha be the root with the positive square root and \beta the root with the negative square root. Then

\dfrac1\alpha=\dfrac4{-3+\sqrt{41}}\quad\text{and}\quad\dfrac1\beta=\dfrac4{-3-\sqrt{41}}

The simplest quadratic with these roots can be written as

\left(x-\dfrac1\alpha\right)\left(x-\dfrac1\beta\right)=x^2-\left(\dfrac1\alpha+\dfrac1\beta\right)x+\dfrac1{\alpha\beta}=x^2-\dfrac34x-\dfrac12

Plsss help and thank u

Answer:

11/16

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 9 red crayons, 2 blue crayons, and 5 yellow crayons. We can represent this as a ratio of 9:2:5. Now we have to combine the red crayons and blue crayons so it's 11 red and blue crayons: 5 yellow crayons OR 11:5. Then we add those two values to find out the number of crayons there are, and there are 16. So out of 16 times, you will pick up a red or blue crayon 11 times. So this fraction is 11/16 which is already its simplest form.

Let me know if you have any questions
